Score big with a shopping trip to the plaza

Score points this fall season with a trip to Plaza Del Prado. Treat your budding hockey star to a new pair of skates from Total Hockey. The new Bauer skates provide such a responsive performance that it’s easy to focus on scoring goals. The shop has everything from sticks to protective gear to jerseys.

Those who are going to get into the game whether it’s hockey, football or soccer should stop in at GNC for the nutrition needed to stay competitive. This is where to find supplements that will help increase endurance, build muscle and improve performance.

If watching football games is on your sports schedule, Plaza Del Prado has multiple tailgate-worthy options beginning with hearty soups from Zoup. There is nothing better on a chilly fall football afternoon than its creamy chicken potpie soup or mellow lobster bisque.

Pair the soup with a box of bagel sandwiches from Einstein Bros. Bagels and listen to the crowd roar. Traditional ham and Swiss or turkey and cheddar take on new flavors when piled onto an Asiago cheese bagel or other flavorful bagel options.

Love's Yogurt offers an array of thick wraps or toasty paninis sure to please your sports fans. To chase away the chill, try one of its big baked potatoes topped with chili and cheese or Teriyaki Chicken. Top off the feast with one of its fruit and yogurt smoothies or freshly baked cookies.

Stop in at Jewel to fill the rest of your tailgating needs from cups and plates to ice. Jewel's great selection of organic snacks keep the calories under control and score points for healthy eating.
